[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the purpose of enrolling to a European school? Save money on tuition, international exposure?

I wouldn’t do it for the lower tuition alone. If [/b]you plan on returning to US after graduation stick to a school that is well known here. [b]Also the economy, youth employment, internship opportunities are much better in US. There’s a reason the net flux of students is from Europe to US.

For international exposure you can do one semester abroad instead.[/quote]

True if DC can get into HSY.  But a GMU or Directional State U degree is not more marketable than a rando EU university degree.  [/quote]

Top 100 US universities are definitely more marketable in US than random EU universities. We’re talking Tulane, UCs, Rochester etc. nobody here knows or cares about Malmo University.

I’d you don’t plan to return to US you’ll be graduating in a low growth economy with high youth unemployment, but 200k less in debt. Do it at your own risk, I don’t think it’s worth it. Salaries in US, internships and job opportunities more than make up for the difference.[/quote]

Tulane, yes, Rochester yes.

But do you really think that a North Central Iowa University degree is any more marketable than a Central Madrid University degree?

People who graduate from [b]directional state universities[/b] (or the private equivalent) get jobs in spite of their degrees.[/quote]

What directional state universities are you talking about in Top 100? Maybe University of Southern Florida or University of Central Florida. They are decent colleges, not sure why you look down on them. Curious to see why you think a US kid should choose a European university over them. It’s a different demography anyways, and we’re not talking about kids choosing between them and Oxford/Cambridge.

An important point is that kids who attend directional state universities are often working for local employers that recruit at such directional schools.

Unless your kid is an EU citizen, it seems strange to attend a no name European college and then have to look for a job in the US.

Also keep in mind…directional US schools are usually very cheap, so there won’t be any real $$$ savings from attending a no name European college.[/quote]
